ATTACK SCHOOL
REVENUE BILL
•
(Continued from Page One)
when the prices would go sky high,"
declared Mr. Dowell.
Representative Macßae wanted to
know if a flat tax would not be fairer
than a graduated tax.
it »vould," t|eclared 1
Mr. New-some, "or otherwise you'
would have three merchants paying
different rates of tax competing side
by side and that would be intoler-j
able."
Mr. Dowell took a somewhat dif-!
ferent view.
"1 know of one merchant who,
makes $25,000 in normal times on a
turnover of SIOO,OOO and another
merchant who makes the same $25,-
01)0 in normal times on a turnover
of $400,000," he declared.
When Mr. Newsome turned to sug
gested source's of revenue, he en
countered another series of ques
tions. t H
Farlier in the hearing he had declined j
to, express an opinion on the Mac-
Lean bill with its principle of State
support of the six months School
without ad valorem taxes.
Later he declared:
"I think the General Assembly
went too far in undertaking to take [
over all the cost of the six months
school term. The merchants are will
ing to pay their ad valorem taxes but
their ad valorem {axes on stocks of |
goods and fixtures are only $750,-j
0(H) and this bill imposes $9,000,000." j
This same idea had been expressed 1
by several earlier s|>eakers and the ex
pression lor a returii to ad valorem
taxes repudiated by the* Mac Lean bill
drew the loudest applause of the day
except that given Senator McKee,
when she declared that the merchants
were the most liberal contributors to
charity in the State.
" Mr. Newsome advanced three sug-, •
gestions, raising $3,000,000 by in
creasing income taxes, raising $6,-
000,000 more by poll taxes nad licens
ing automobile drivers for the sup- I
port of the schools.
Mr. Hood asked if the speaker did |
not think automobile owners were
paying their share of the taxes.
"Certaily not, and 1 cannot be
lieve that you believe that," retorted
Mr. Newsome.
Representative Connor pointed out
that the consitutional limit in the
way of a poll tax is now levied on
all men voters.
In summing up, Mr. Newsom re
iterated the contention that the tax
could not he passed on and therefore
if imposed would result in bank
ruptcy for merchants. He iurther
argued the proposed measure would
be class legislation of the grossest
kind. "We do not think the mer
rhairts of the state should be made
collection agents for the State," he
added.

Who Remembers?
We often woad&r how many of
the "old-timers" about the county
can recall when we put our shirts on
over our head, when anybody could
hitch up a horse, when there were no
i such things as wrist watches and a
hired girl was lucky to get $2.50 a
• week ? Or how many remember when
lioyts collected cigarette pictures,
When everybody had tonsils and kept
'cm; when nobody had appendicits and
most everybody kept the Sabbath.
Surely there must be a lot of folks
j around here who can remember when
! they carried a lantern on the dash-|
board of the spring wagon and drove
through mud, dirt or loose rock most
of the time; when they slept on a
straw tick and took a bath in the wash
tub in the kitchen only on Saturday
night; or when women wore Mother
Hubbards, when a brick covered with
| carpet served as a doorstop and when
congress gaiters were the most sty
lish of shoes. But if you can remem
ber any or all of these it isn't a sign
you are getting old.
Thousands of acres of crop land
i have been reclaimed in Utah as a
j result of eradicating prairie dogs.
